I’ve invested/wasted several hours of my life coming to terms with Football Manager 2008 (or Worldwide Soccer Manager) and have identified the following players as stars of the future:

The first grouping have the potential to be the best of the best and if you click the link on their name that will take you to a profile of how they are getting on in real life (these are still being created so bare with me) :

This second grouping of future stars have the potential to be very, very good:

  • Babel – Liverpool
  • Jourdren – Montpellier
  • Edwards – Millwall
  • Hazard – Lille
  • Bouzanis – Liverpool
  • Johnson – Man City
  • Camucho – At. Madrid

I’ll keep this list updated as I discover new ones and feel free to add your own in the comments.

Thanks for reading and I’d really like to point you in the direction of my Football Manager 2009 to get your thoughts on what you would like to see in Football Manager 2009 :) .

  9. Kieran Gorst says:

    this is my squad and tbh i think i am one of the best managers fm08 has ever seen but their probs are better then me well here it is this is my career success

    clubs=1
    countries=1

    West Ham success-
    6 back-to-back premierleague titles
    4 carling cup
    2 FA cups
    6 Community Shields
    2 Champions league
    2 world club championships

    England Success-
    1 Euro Championship winner
    1 World Cup

    i ended my england career after winning the world cup due to not concentrating on my west ham career which is why i havnt won as many FA cups it seems to be my bogey competition im in 2017 now and will probably move clubs when i either take over as the greatest hall of fame british manager higher then ferguson and the other guy or when my contract ends in 2020

  10. xristos says:

    since i bought football manager i found a young very talented romanian striker called bogdan stancu you can buy him for around about 1.7 million he will score now and again at first but give him a season and play him reguly he will bag tons of goals he scored 30 goals in 51 games for my newcastle sqaud. he is also very professional and never complains about nothing and kept him until he retired he was that good trust mke buy him.

  30. zak says:

    Giorgio Chiellini will become good after 2 seasons of first team
    Rodrigo Palacio good for the wing very fast player and can adapt to any type of play

    I have won every cup i have entered with man u an am in my 79th season in charge

  33. jonas says:

    im manchester united.

    i use ustari and cesar in goal.
    and in defence u should sign gonzalo, bogdan ignocia and grahm street is good.
    Carlos is brilliant and get domingo both in senteral mid. on the wings ben arfa is great and nani is brilliant.
    get a player called andrea cappola in attack and jaun is also very good.

    (mostly all of these players r young) so they will be the best in the future. in season 2014 they are all brilliant.

  36. joshy123 says:

    best 11 on the game
    hugo lloris (brilliant young keeper) gk
    amanuel insua (gud player, could play 4 a better team) lb

    anton ferdinand (excellent player, cheap but gud signin) cb

    andres iniesta (hes a very gud player, passin very accurate) mc
    zlatan ibrahimovic (seems 2 score evry time he plays) sc
    robinho (my top scorer for real madrid wiv 56 goals in 62 games)

  37. Camara says:

    Surely Bruno Mezenga and Keirrison are the best young Brazil strikers.

    Mezenga is new Adriano. And sciored 21 goals in 25 games in Bank Asya League. Next season his in Trabzonspor!

    Kerrison is a way better scorer and i guess we will see him in big European clubs very soon. His called already K-9 and consider as New Ronaldo.

  38. TheChapcheval says:

    theres this 17yr old at Plymouth argyle called Peter Chapman, i found him in my 2nd season with west ham, he may be a new youth but after 2 more seasons man utd offered 26million for him, he was a creative centre midfielder, a genius really. shame the board accepted the offer, twats.

  39. At exeter city i found a youth team attacking midfielder called Connor Sharpe he is 17 with great stat’s. My scout discovered him when i was at wolves and i paid 20k for him, put him straight into the first team and he scored 10 goals in the second half of the season. after this i moved to Barcelona where i brought young sharpe for 11 million and he has since become the best attacking midfielder in the game and is worth 40 million with a minimum fee release clause of 124 million.

  40. Adam says:

    Well i see everyone here has started we good or average teams and some people cant even win the league with man u…well im Woking manager and im in 2017 and won the champions league the first time i got in it and now have on it 3 times in a row im walking the prem for the 4th season in a row and im top of the all time hall of fame.

    just make sure u buy bruno from sao paulo he plays DM the best player on the game for me and jose baxter there really young at the start but give them chance and you will see what happens.

  41. Steve FM08 says:

    Branimir Kostadinov at hearts is seriosuly someone u can look at buying whether its in the BSP or even Premiership. You can get him for roughly 95k and he is a natural powerful goalscorer.

    Reccomendation of the year!

  42. Alex says:

    buy pablo piatti
    vincent acapandie
    amazing players
    doudin
    these players will get u at least 18 goals a season

  43. gustavo says:

    fabio is right!
    u have some excellent players there dude.
    i have also some that i like to share and some of them are available for small teams:
    bogdan stancu;zaccardo(he becomes better than dani alves);asamoah gyan(one of the best ST and maybe the best AMR);frederico agliardi;armand traore;daniel carvalho;andrea gasbarroni;marvin angulo;brayan angulo;matias cahais;yegor filipenko;yuval shpunghin;mascio;alejandro gomez;the one from debrecen;lautaro acosta;pablo pérez;luis escalada;charles-andre doudin;kwabena agouda;nengomashe;MATT PICKENS(is available for 30m at the beginig and it becomes one of the best in the game-GK);jukka lehtovaara;manuel coppola;daniele vantaggiato;jaime valdés;cesar lindado;jose san roman;steve mandanda;mathieu saunier;wang dalei.

  44. rizaks says:

    if u can create any edited player by yourself (using database editor), i think u can have…. WOW incredible players!!!!

  45. Billy Whizz says:

    Hidden gem of the game – Deane Smalley of Oldham Athletic. Buy him straight away and play him often. He bagged 10 goals in 30 games for Man United first season. Then he develops well. Scored 100 goals in 50 games 2nd season.

  49. Jordan Kennedy says:

    Ive been playing as Barcelona, half way through second season.

    Domestically I’m amazing, won the league, won the cup, won the super cup, but in Europe I can’t seem to get anything going.

    I was 2-1 up against Inter Milan in first leg,
    but then I got destroyed 3-0 in second leg, AT MY GROUND?

    Anyone have good tips for winning in Europe?

    I play Christmas tree formation if that helps,
    GK: Victor Valdes
    DR: Daniel Alves
    DL: Eric Abidal
    DC: Antonio Barzagli
    DC: Carles Puyol OR Rafael Marquez
    MC: Xavi
    MC: Fabregas
    MC: Andres Iniesta
    AMC: Ronaldinho
    AMC: Lionel Messi OR Diego
    FC: Thierry Henry OR Samuel Eto’o

    Bench Warmers:
    Carlo Cudicini (GK)
    Felipe (GK)

    Rafinha (DR)
    Armand Traore (DL)
    Gabriel Milito (DC)

    Javi Martinez (MC)
    Albert Zapater (MC)
    Giovanni dos Santos (AMC)

    Bojan (FC)
    Carlos Vela (FC)

    So yeah, any tips on how to get that team to Glory in Europe this season?

    (P.S. Fabregas cost 80 million second season, but still worth every penny <33)
